Am I correct in assuming that the contents of this menu are universal for
all platforms? In any case I think there a few minor tweaks that could be
done to it that would help it seem even more "Mac like", but I think they'
d be helpful on all platforms.
In the Options sub-menu: insert a few more blank dividers to group the
commands better. For instance, insert a divider after "Normal" so that the
three draw modes are displayed as a distinct, related group: Shading,
Linemode, and Normal. Also, implementing a checkmark next to the current
mode would be helpful too - not just for the draw modes but for any menu
item that can be toggled or selected from a group (ie, orthographic vs
perspective, current background color, etc). Would it be possible to do
this?
Also, in an earlier message it was noted that Control-dragging is supposed
to rotate the model in solid studless mode, I think. However, on the Mac
(at least on my traditional one-buttoned Mac), control-clicking triggers
the pop-up (contextual) menu. This behavior is pretty much universal on
the mac (Control clicking to get contextual menus). So I'm guessing that
the pop-up menu conflicting with the control-dragging... which would
explain why control-dragging doesn't work on the mac.
